The first activity that comes to my mind is the "no-activity", that is, do
nothing but just enjoy to the full the peace and tranquillity that one finds
in "Casa niña Maria".
In the summer time sitting under the shade of the
holm-oaks or in the winter time by the fireplace.
As for the very active ones there is a wide choice of things to do.
If you like walking, you just have to close the house door behind you to
find yourself in lovely fields with holm oaks and rockroses. About 12 Kms.
further on, you will find the National Park of Abantos. The size and beauty
of this park makes it the ideal place to practice trekking and
mountainbiking..
There are several riding clubs, (one of them only 3 kms. away) where you can
choose the horse that suits you best to either ride on the club's premises
or in the mountains.
In lake Valdemayor, 5 Kms. from the hotel, you can go fishing, canoeing,
windsurfing and sailing providing you have the necessary equipment.
In winter you can go skiing in the ski resort of Puerto de Navacerrada (20
Kms away) with all kinds of modern facilities. All necessary requisites are
available.
Last but not least, one should include under "activities" the enjoyment of
the delicious gastronomy of the region, as is done by the many visitors who
travel through the many towns and villages nearby.
The "cochinillo" (suckling pig) from Segovia, the "cordero" (roast lamb) from Pedraza and
Sepulveda, the "ternera" (veal) from Avila......You will find countless
numbers of taverns, restaurants and inns in each one of these places where
you can enjoy the typical dishes on offer.
